defense plan, first iteration. Comments please!
Start
- GoW sends rubber, accepted. Phew, that was the first thing we needed
- RP sends WM. Send our WM. Can't send horses.
- EotS builds rifle, starts inf
- pollution strikes Hurricane... sigh... always when you least need it
If it was a DD build, it was no problem, but the transport won't be speeded up next turn. Will need to compensate elsewhere.
- Cyclone builds worker, starts explorer. A bit strange to build a worker that will get added to the same city, but hey
- Bolderberg builds art. Starts DD
- Tempest builds rifle. Starts inf
- Typhoon builds DD. Starts DD
- Monsoon builds art. Starts inf
- OG builds art. Starts DD
- WW builds art. Starts inf
- WoC builds carrier. Starts sub.
- 1961 gold, 70%, 690 bpt, -121 gpt. (Mass prod in 2 of 4) 2659/3360 beakers collected.
Strange. The calculation doesn't fit, I'm missing 11 beakers somewhere...
tech cost
shortrushes
Hurricane set to DD. knight disbanded. 5 shields rushed. set to Carrier
forces
(- 7 knights, 12 MI, 2 galley)
- 14 art
- 37 workers (+0/turn)
- 1 settlers (+.2/turn)
- 76 rifle (+0/turn)
- 0 tanks (+ /turn)
- 12 galleon
- 8 destroyer (+/turn)
- 9 transports (+/turn)
- 1 carrier
- Strong in strength to GoW, average to ND and to Lego. This is before upgrading any infs
I hope anyone is willing to go through the trouble of finding out how many units Lego has (should only be a rough guess) With our rifles, we just turned average. I'm now starting to upgrade them (3 at the time), in our red cities first.
after 24 upgrades to infs, we turn strong to ND
after 42 upgrades, we're still average to Lego. Willlfort them next turn, and upgrade the rest to see how we're doing.
Moves
In general, the specific worker moves are not covered anymore, it gets too tedious. Only important stuff is mentioned.
- pollution control
- irr Hurricane 2, 3
- mine Cyclone 7
- 2 workers added to Cyclone
- RP didn't move off their hill, so it has no fort.
- rest of our workers skipped turn.
in total, 5 more forests remain. Our workers are becoming obsolete, everything is done. Radio in ~7 turns, after which we'll convert them to radar towers
- Horatio now has 2 destroyers next to it (skipped turn). We also spotted a Lego transport right off their coast. They are changing their pickets, it seems, another 2 ironclads (waste of good shields) moves into view.
- DD in Inchoff forts
- D from Typhoon automoves towards Hurricane
- galley arrived at its spot near Pica. automoves the galleon present there towards Sufa
- carrier automoves towards Blizzard
- I'm forting the pickets again, instead of sentrying... I don't like it that when one wakes, I can't spot a number of tiles anymore.
workforce shuffles
- Cyclone: damn. one thing I didn't check last turn, and of course it happens: explorers don't get the mob bonus! We can't get Cyclone to 20 spt without it... maybe Inchoff is 20 spt once the market completes, in the mean time I'm building one here, at 2 turns... afterwards it's probably going to be a unit of some sorts.
One citizen set to taxman
further, gives game to BB, takes mined plain from EotS, gives all bonus grass and a wheat to Tornado.
- Other cities compensate (EotS takes irr plain from BB)
- Typhoon gives one grass to Cyclone, set to subs (50 spt)
- Monsoon gives hill to WW. Needs to retake it next turn.
- WW takes hill, instead of sea. next turn sea, turn after hill again. In total, it cuts the eta of the tank-1 (but costs 2 food, and as it is at a 3-turn cycle, and Monsoon at a 2-turn cycle, will have to wait a little before we can do it again)
- Elipolis gives grass to Inchon gets coast instead
- WoC gives grass to Inchon. Will probably change to Inchoff next turn, but that was already perfectly timed on the market
- SA gives grass to D-ville. Takes grass from Blizzard
- D-ville loses coast
- Blizzard takes coast
- Blizzard gives desert to SS, takes coast instead
- SS on schedule for 5-turn settler, by swapping with mountain. Next turn, take back mountain
Current Builds
long term plans for our cities
Eli : catyhedral in 2
Inchon : aqua in 7
WoC : sub in 1
Inchoff : market in 1. (explorers next?)
D-ville : tank in 1
Santa Ana : Battlefield Medicine in 2. (Tanks next)
Blizzard : destroyer in 1. (destroyer next)
Monsoon : tank in 2
Arashi : inf in 1
WW : tank in 3
Tempest : tank in 1
SS: settler in 3
Hurricane : Carrier in 1. I hope I was correct in calculating: I didn't change before mob. It could be that I'm one shield short (should have 1 over)
OG : DD in 4
EotS : tank in 1
Bolderberg : DD in 2
Cyclone: explorer in 2 (see above for explanation)
Tornado : transport in 1
Typhoon : sub in 2
Sufa : market in 89
Other
- Lego got SM. I'm sending it to ND, RP, and to GoW.
Not a bad move from Lego, as they can be sure MT will devaluate (we need to send it to GoW sometime soon)
- CH: message to GoW (when you get back
) please: Lego going for AT? we will delay MT for as long as possible, notify us when you need it
oh, and if they can spare any gold (they still owe us 1k5), it would be welcome, as we're upgrading our defenses right now!
- in F11, we're #3 in production at 701 Megatons. (last turn 697) before Mob (and before irr near Hurricane: turned 693). Also, when putting our slider down, we were passed by ND in GNP as well, we're currently only 4th. And it's not so close either, as productivity is also 4th.
after mob, we're at 866 (it's been 900 as well, when shuffling builds and tiles). total production back in 3rd place (1831)
- this was one of the longest turns I played, even with the preparation. Took over 3 hours!
Next Turn
- when discovering MT, set all inf builds to tanks... except for the Arashi one (which will only net 90 shields)
- tweak terrain around Monsoon
